Just a quickly I’d like to quote from the Introduction to The Source NT:

For centuries, the meanings of numerous NT words remained unknown, and translators simply made educated guesses. In the late 1880s and again in the mid 1970s, large amounts of papyri and inscriptions were discovered. These impacted our knowledge of word meanin in the NT to such a degree that scholars labeled the finds “sensational” and “dramatic.”…

Yet nearly every NT translation of today follows the traditional translations of the earlier versions, which were published centuries before the evidence from the papyri and inscriptions revealed to us the meanings of numerous NT words.

So even our lexicons are outdated, yet the people who make them know they need updated but refuse to do it. And it is to these outdated “authorities” the supremacists always appeal. Big problem.
